==** There are many things in the universe that fascinate us all but it’s the objects that we can observe closer that fascinates us even more. For example we can observe the moon pretty well and its pretty close to us and that’s why many people are interested about learning the moon. (See the bottom of my paper for pictures). **==

** __The features of the moon-__ **
==** Some features of the moon are that there are moon rocks which are kind of similar to the ones on earth which is important to earth.Also the moon has moonquakes, which are like earth quakes, but it’s on the moon and it’s not as strong as the ones on earth, moon quakes happen a lot on the moon. The moon is one quarter the size of earth. The moon does not have a magnetic field. The moon’s gravity is 1/6 oh the earth’s gravity. **==

** Neil Armstrong- **
==** The first person ever to walk on the moon was Neil Armstrong on July 20,1969. But he was not the only one to set foot on the moon so the 2nd person was Edwin E. Aldrin. They both saw the same thing such as rocks, huge craters, but obviously they didn’t see any life on the moon. They also said that up there it can be below freezing but at times it can also be extremely hot. **==

==** Neil Armstrong went on a mission called Apollo 11, he went on a spacecraft to go on the moon. The spacecraft was built by the USA. It was a famous mission. A lot of countries were competing against each other to get to the moon and see what country gets there first and USA was the first 1. **==

==** The moon impacts earth in so many different ways. 1st the moon effects the water in the oceans by pulling it or letting go which is called low-tide and high-tide. Also the moon makes the earth see phases(phases of the moon),there are many different types of phases such as full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter moon, waning cresent moon, new moon, waxing cresent moon, first quarter, waxing gibbous moon, and then back to full moon. **==

==** Our moon is not the only moon in our solar system. There are many other planets that have a moon just like ours, like Jupiter that have 4 moons that are pretty big but there is more moons that are much tiny, there are about a dozen of them orbiting Jupiter. Also scientists believe that there was water on the moon but then over time it all dried **==

==** In conclusion the moon is very important to earth and we find many things on the moon that are similar to the things on earth, the moon has phases which can effect the way we see the moon on earth. **==
